I'm don't sure in this moment.
When I'm remove path to gnu diff from my $PATH environment variable and
run selftest,
it will also pass the same 54 tests and fails on test_merge. May be I do
not reach diff-tests due to the bug in merge?
But bzrlib\diff.py module have function external_diff that will try to
spawn diff utility, so I'm really not sure in question: is diff utils
neede or not? But I'm sure that if mentioned function external_diff
covered by selftest it will fails on Windows on either reasons:
- if user does not have diff utils installed and listed in $PATH variable
- anyway fails because diff invoked with os.spawnvp function of Python,
but this function (and all spawn with -p suffix) does not exists on Windows.
